Trigeminal neuralgia: What helps stop the pain?

@lbo615 Hi. How long have you been on Oxcarbazepine? My doctor just prescribed it. I’m always nervous to start new drugs because I’m really sensitive to medication. I just tried Lyrica and had very bad side effects within the first day, so now on to Oxcarbazepine. Can you tell me a little more about your experience with Oxcarbazepine? Thanks!

Hello,
I too am sensitive to meds so I was anxious about it when prescribed. When I had the first bout of trigeminal neuralgia I think I would have tried anything-it was so painful. It stopped the pain! After the first dose. I did take it for a few weeks. I have it just for that. I’ve had to use it only twice. I take it with me everywhere I go and on trips just In case. It may have made me a little sleepy but don’t remember any other side effects from it. Good luck!
